American Water 100311579 75 Gal Power Vent Gas Water Heater

Product Description

The AMERICAN WATER 100311579 is a 75-gallon natural gas power vent water heater designed for high-demand residential and light commercial hot water applications. Sold under the AMH-PVG62-75T76-NV model designation, this unit uses a powered blower to exhaust combustion gases through PVC or ABS venting rather than relying on natural draft, giving installers flexibility in vent routing and termination location. The 75-gallon tank capacity makes it well suited for facilities or households where simultaneous draw demands exceed what a standard 40- or 50-gallon unit can handle. At 277 pounds, this is a large-format heater that requires appropriate handling equipment and a dedicated gas supply line during installation.

This water heater is categorized under gas plumbing equipment and is intended for installations where natural gas supply is available and power venting is preferred or required by the installation layout. Power vent configurations are commonly chosen when the heater location does not allow for a vertical B-vent or direct sidewall gravity exhaust. The AMH-PVG62-75T76-NV designation indicates a commercial-grade tank in the 50- to 79-gallon capacity range, appropriate for multi-unit residential buildings, small commercial kitchens, and high-volume service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas technician in accordance with local plumbing codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), and the manufacturer's installation instructions. Shut off the gas supply and cold water inlet before beginning any connection work. Power vent units require a dedicated 120-volt electrical connection for the blower motor and must use approved vent pipe materials and diameters as specified by the manufacturer. Due to the weight of this unit, use appropriate lifting equipment and ensure floor load capacity is adequate before placing the heater.
